Chapter 29 Villa (2)

"Hehe, I can't change that. Oh right, I haven't introduced him to you yet. This is my boyfriend. I brought him here especially for you to meet him today."

Upon hearing this, Su Xingbo stood up and shook hands with Ayako Suzuki.

"Hello, Sonoko-neechan, my name is Kudo Hoshikaku. I have many hobbies and interests. Please take care of me in the future."

"From now on, you can call me Ayako-neechan. I never thought that I hadn't found a boyfriend yet, but Sonoko, you found such a handsome guy. You're amazing."

"Oh, not at all, Sister Ayako is too kind." Su Xingbai was embarrassed by her constant compliments about his good looks; who could resist that?

Conan was stunned, staring at Su Xingbai in shock.

What are you blushing about? Why are you blushing like that?

I've known him for so long, and this is the first time I've ever seen him with this expression. It's truly an eye-opener.

Just as they were finishing their conversation, Xiaolan started chatting with a few people from the film club.

"Wow, you wouldn't happen to be that Cyan Kingdom that's currently showing in theaters, would you?" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise, covering her mouth.

Hiroki Kakutani replied cheerfully, "Yes, that was her work from her student days, and now it's finally being made public."

"Let's not talk about the past, okay?" Chikako Ikeda replied modestly.

However, this wasn't something she could simply stop talking to. Ota Katsu seized the opportunity and pressed on, asking, "I heard you're about to write the script for another movie, is that right?"

"Really? Then we'd like to invite Master Ikeda to say a few words to us fans." Hiroki Kakutani stood up, holding a camera, and smiled at her.

"Please don't make fun of me," Chikako Ikeda replied awkwardly, waving her hand.

Then, Ota Katsu remarked with emotion, "Kakutani, you're still holding onto your passion for photography."

“Yeah, this is the only one I haven’t given up on yet. Speaking of which, Takahashi, have you gained weight recently? The camera can’t even fit you anymore.” Kakutani turned the camera to Takahashi Ryoichi, who was sitting on the ground next to him.

"Oh, I'm almost 100 kilograms, really? I'm so embarrassed." Ryoichi Takahashi touched his stomach, then shyly scratched his head.

At this point, everyone sat down at the table and started chatting.

Ayako Suzuki recalled sadly, "Hehe, being with everyone reminds me of the past. It's a pity about Atsuko. If that incident hadn't happened, he would be here today too."

Upon hearing this, the four members of the film club were shocked, and the expressions on each of their faces changed.

It was as if I had seen a demon, it was terrifying!

"Stop mentioning Dunzi, okay?!" Chikako Ikeda slammed her hand on the table and stood up, shouting angrily.

After a while, she sat down again, closed her eyes, and continued speaking.

"I finally managed to squeeze out some time from my busy schedule to come here and relax, and I don't want to talk about someone who died two years ago."

Ayako Suzuki, flustered and at a loss, lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry..."

At this moment, Yuanzi wanted to stand up and speak up for her sister, but Su Xingbai, who was sitting next to her, pulled her back and shook his head at her.

Why bother arguing with a dead person? The more arrogant she is now, the worse her death will be in the end. He won't have a saintly heart.

Saving someone like that would only shorten your own lifespan; it's simply not worth it.

He pulled Sonoko close and whispered in her ear, "Don't bother with a dead person. I can read faces. Trust me, her face looks like she's destined for a short life. She'll die suddenly within three days, and it'll be a very gruesome death."

Seeing his confident and serious expression, Sonoko was momentarily convinced by his lies and nodded in agreement without getting up to speak. However, her eyes remained fixed on Ikeda Chika.

If the murderer accidentally lets her escape and she survives, he wouldn't mind giving the murderer a little help in case he makes a mistake, so that the murderer can succeed.

Do good things without leaving a name!

Morality +1 +1 +1 +1.

Ota Masaru couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "Hmph, once a person becomes famous, their tone of voice changes."

"What did you say?!" Chikako Ikeda glared at him angrily.

"Alright, alright, you two stop talking. I'll go make dinner now. I think you should rest for a bit," Ayako Suzuki quickly stood up to smooth things over.

At this moment, Ryoichi Takahashi also stood up and said with a smile, "Then I'll go outside and fix the roof. It looks like it's going to start raining soon."

"Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you so much, Takahashi, please be careful."

"Ok."

Ugh, how boring.

That's it? He wasn't done watching yet.

Ota Masaru really knows how to roast people. You can tell just by looking at Sonoko's expression right now. Sonoko is covering her mouth and secretly laughing. She keeps chuckling to herself.

In the end, everyone parted on bad terms.

Chikako Ikeda said she was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk, and Kakutani said he was worried about her, so he followed her out.

Ota Katsu went upstairs to his room to rest, while Takahashi Ryoichi went up to the roof and disappeared.

There were no more members of the film club in the living room at this point; only Conan and his group remained.

Su Xingbo jumped onto the sofa, found a comfortable position to lie down, and made sounds that could be easily misunderstood.

"Ah~~~"

"Ah, that feels so good!"

His voice was so captivating that all three of them turned their attention to him.

Seeing that all three of them were staring at him, he assumed they also wanted to come to the sofa, so he quickly squeezed in, rested his chin on his left hand, bent his right leg, and patted the empty space.

Seeing that the three of them were still unmoved, he assumed that they thought he was too stingy and hadn't left enough space, so he turned to the side and patted the empty space again.

"Why are you staring at me?" Unable to stand it any longer, Su Xingbo took the initiative and asked them why they kept staring at him.

"It's nothing, we're just looking around."

"Yes, yes, just looking around," the three hurriedly explained.

Just then, a roaring sound rang out in the sky.

The roar saved the three of them and eased the awkward situation.

After a while, a pitter-patter sound came from outside; it had started to rain.

The sound of rain hitting the roof was continuous.

The group was drawn by the sound and stood by the window looking outside.

The outdoor lights seemed especially bright in the darkness.

Feeling bored, the four started playing cards.
